Abuse of Power and the Effect of Tyrannical Leadership Between Lord of the Flies and the Chrysalids
Jack, Roger and Joseph Strorm display abuse of power and the effect of Tyrannical Leadership. In Wyndham's novel, The Chrysalids, Joseph Strorm is a strict man with power and control, like Jack who has power over the boys on the island in Golding's novel, The Lord of the Flies. The two characters demonstrate that they abuse their power and the effect of Tyrannical Leadership when they both exclude people, uses violence as a punishment, and misuse/abandon the laws/rules. Wyndham illustrates the use of violence through Joseph Strorm and the whole village, as they want to rid of Deviants. In the first chapter, the book explains the rules of their village:
The one on the left of the fire place read: only the image of God is man. The one on the right: keep pure the stock of the Lord. On the opposite wall two more said: Blessed is the norm, and in purity our salvation. The largest was the one on the back wall, hung to face the door which led to the yard. It reminded everyone who came in: Watch thou for the mutant! (Wyndham 18)
In the beginning of the book, it proves that Joseph Strorm and the village exclude the people that are blasmphemies because they are different e not the same as the image of God and they also they send them to them to the Fringes because they are a mutant. Although Joseph Strorm and Jack are two different characters, they both demonstrate the abuse of power to others. Jack's violent ways illustrates Golding's belief of his abuse of power. Jack and Ralph exclude Piggy when they go out to explore the island because of his name, he cannot swim, he is fat and too lazy to go hunting. In the beginning of the book, The Lord of the Flies, it shows that Jack uses exclusion:
Presently Ralph stopped and turned back to Piggy. 'Look.' Jack and Simon pretended to notice nothing. They walked on. 'You can't come.” Piggy's glasses were misted again---this time with humiliation. (Golding 23)
